Safety, trust & environment
Your dog or kitty under my care would have my undivided attention. Safety would be number one on my checklist. Making your pet feel secure and loved would also be on that list just as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Joy was reliable and careful and caring for our two dogs. She administered their numerous medications without fail. She left our home securely locked whenever she was absent and activated our security alarms as we had requested. We would request her services again if needed.
Joy provided excellent care for our two-year old dog and our 6 cats while we were away for several days. She came to our house in advance for a meet & greet, at which time she showed great interest in each of our pets, reviewed our written instructions and asked excellent questions. As we requested, she stayed in our home overnight and most of the day. She was totally trustworthy, reliable and professional. Joy was consistent in her attention to the safety and wellbeing of our pets. She followed instructions, including medication administration, with precision. She was kind, loving and patient with all our pets. Joy always responded quickly to messages. She was communicative, messaging daily updates and occasional photos. She asked questions as needed. She left our house clean, with dishes, sheets and towels washed and put away. In summary, it was so good to leave our pets in safe and experienced hands. We highly recommend Joy and will not hesitate to request her services in the future!
Joy was an excellent caregiver for our 2 senior dogs while we were on a 3 week vacation. They loved her and we will use Joy again on our next adventure
Joy is so wonderful. My husband and I and our 12 year old chocolate lab have so blessed to have Joy house & Grace sit for over the past 3 years. If we are gone for a long weekend or a ten day vacation we trust our home and our beloved lab, Grace with Joy! I want to keep her all to ourselves, but I must share her with others!
Joy stayed in my home and cared for my senior diabetic dog. He was happy with her company and care. It was such a relief to me to have a skilled, compassionate sitter who was able to care for a dog with complex medical needs including the need to administer injections twice daily. Joy kept me posted via texts and photos, letting me know that Buster was doing well. I had just about given up on ever being able to travel again as I didn’t think I could find someone i could trust to provide the level of care I needed. I was fortunate to find Joy. I highly recommend her for caring for your pet/s. She is responsible, caring and knowledgeable.
Joy kitty- and house-sat for two weeks in June, 2024 while we were away. She is compassionate, attentive, and responsive in all ways. We highly recommend Joy to care for your pets.
